As a reward to myself for quitting smoking in August, after 30 years, I have $50 a week burning a hole in my pocket. (What the hell was I thinking!)
For the smokers out there you know what I mean, quitting isn't that easy. It cost me about $10k to quit. In the form of a spare no expense 2 week driving vacation with the family. We drove from our home Victoria BC to California and back. My goal was roller coasters, my daughter wanted to swim with dolphins, my son was all about LEGOLAND and my wife just wanted to sit and watch(relax). Of course we did all the major attractions and Parks along the way. I have never smoked around my family but they know I did, wasn't a secret. Being with them 24/7 for 17 days didn't leave a lot of time for smokes so I figured it was the best time. Anyone trying to quit I recommend this method. Except for the packing around a gallon of water on my back for 10 hours a day. We weren't used to the 95+ august weather in Cali. San Diego was a nice break and a beautiful city. I was a little jealous. Of course its no Victoria BC, but it'll do, in a pinch. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) Here is my reward: 100k 2001 EJ25 with manual trans, about $900 USD Had the coil pack and head gaskets done in December was running until 2 weeks ago when the owner rolled the Forester it was in. ![]() Unfortunately what I considered to be the "wiring harness and computer" differed from the wrecking yard: See yellow oval, should be workable? ![]() |

Yeah congrats man. That's a huge accomplishment. Nicotine is such an addictive substance but every day that goes by it's hold gets weaker. At this point you WIN!!! Just don't say "I can have ONE....I can control myself..." because you'll be right back on the horse. If you've made it this far you can definitely do it. Don't you feel GREAT?????
Do an online search for the shop manual for the vehicle that engine came out of and you should find the factory one somewhere for free. PM me if you don't find it. They have the wiring diagrams you need. BTW the Subie trans IS amazingly long...until you take the center diff off. Then it's almost as short as the 901. ![]() EDIT: And the Center Diff is worth about $250 on NASIOC BTW (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) . So...now you're under $10k (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) . |
